Rhode Island Supreme Court vacates life sentence in deadly Pawtucket shooting

The Rhode Island Supreme Court vacated a conviction tied to a deadly cigar bar shooting.

Trequan Baker, 31, was sentenced to 60 years at the ACI followed by a consecutive life sentence for the murder of 36-year-old Qudus Kafo in 2022.

Pawtucket police said one man was shot to death and a second wounded outside FabCity Cigar Lounge, early Monday, Jan. 24, 2022. (WJAR)

The shooting happened outside the Fab City Cigar Lounge in Pawtucket after a fight broke out.

The Supreme Court referenced inappropriate questioning at the trial that focused on what happened after Baker’s arrest as the reasoning for vacating the conviction.
